This summer, the Students on Ice Foundation’s North to North expedition set sail from Nuuk to Iqaluit. The expedition was an opportunity for young people from across the Arctic to come together, share perspectives and experiences and explore connections between youth from different parts of the region.

The SDWG was able to support the participation of two educators to the expedition. SDWG Chair Camilla Aviaja Olsen and the Head of Delegation for the Saami Council to the SDWG Gunn-Britt Retter were responsible for contributing to the educational programme, facilitating sessions and mentoring young participants along the expedition.
